MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas Guys!

Hope you're all having a wicked awesome holiday and hopefully I'll see you all before I header outta here in January!

Love you all :)

My Lil Sisters!

I figured after Ashie's post about her sister...I should do one on my sisters...well sister and her friends...

Ok. So this is Jackie and her friend Brittany. Jackie is my real sister and Brittany is adopted Legault #2...
Adopted Legault girlie #1 is......

LINDSAY! This one actually gets mail at my mums house addressed to Lindsay Legault...

This is the other Brittany (the mexican..) and Sonya with Jackie. My other 2 little sisters...

..so...okay...jackie and Linds...hmm...+3...5 little sisters to look out for. FIVE SIXTEEN YEAR OLDS. Beating boys off with sticks just doesn't seem to cut it anymore. I think I need a machine gun....

Remind me...

Why do we share a name again???

"Sometimes it seems like God is difficult to find and impossibly far away. We get so caught up in our small daily duties and irritations that they become the only things that we can focus on. What we forget is that God's love and beauty are all around us, every day, if only we would take the time to look up and see them."

I {heart} Christmas

Yay Christmas!
I decorated my house! Made something outta...not to much haha

Basically I thought I should take a few lil pics and show the world because Im wicked proud of what I created...

Oh. By the way: I have channel 10 (the fireplace channel) on and a radio podcast of christmas music playing!

33 days and counting...

What am I doing? really...

Ok. So I leave for Capernwray in January and it looks like I'm going to be coming back in June. Then what?

I know some of this is going to sound ridiculous, but please bear with me...I think I'm going crazy anyhow.

The truth is that Im petrified. I am SO scared about this whole Australia thing. Actually, what I'm more scared about is coming home... 6 months is a long time and I really don't know where I should go. Where would I even fit in anymore? In 6 months, people change (including me) and people move and make new friends etc....the thing is that everyone will be doing that here without me. So when I come back...where do I go? What do I do next? I mean, there's always camp because thats something I know...but I do need money...so do I go back to Duncan and hang out with my sister and her friends everyday with an occassional visit from the people at camp? At least I wouldn't pay room or board there....Or I could come back to Calgary...and do what? There's no way Im going to go back to the Thirsty Dog. Or second Cup. I could go to school...but where would I live, and with what money??? Another option would be move to Vancouver and live with Nathan and Kailem. I guess that would be okay as long as they never EVER bring girls home. but that poses the same problem. What would I do and what money would I do it with? The worst thing is that none of this is looking to be like a forever kind of option. And to be honest - I want to finally be in one place. Have my friends again and my home. And Rachael & Chantelle, you guys know what else is eating me...GAHHHHHH.
I feel like I'm going to explode - really. I just want to fast forward through all of this to apoint in my life where I'm settled somewhere. I know I'm going to have a BLAST in Aus and I am totally stoked. But that's only 6 months, you know?

Who will be here to meet me when I come back?

Where will I be "going back" to?

A qu-qu-qu-quIIIIIZZZZZZ

Take my Quiz on QuizYourFriends.com!

Ashley...don't get scared. My dreams and aspirations have only slightly changed order....

By the way,
Mike Kitchen is SOOO sexy.

It's unbelievable, really.


seriously.

I QUIT...finally...

Thats right. I Quit. Second Cup no more.

Sorry to those of you who wanted to use and exploit my 50% discount...HA!

Or if you were planning on visiting me ONE DAY at Second Cup *cough*Jay*cough*

NO CHAI LATTES FOR YOU!

...suckers...

i regret to inform you that...

...molly died. i replaced her with a pig. he's cooler anyhow.

...dumb questions...

Here is a list of stupid questions I thought of to ask your opinion on....mostly because I haven't posted lately and because I can't think of anything better to write...

1) Should Vegetarians eat animal crackers?


2) Do you find it a bit unnerving doctors call what they do practice?


3)If a funeral procession is at night, do you drive with your lights off?


4) If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?


5) If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?


6) When sign makers go on strike, is anything written on their signs?


7) When you open a bag of cotton balls, is the top one meant to be thrown away?


8) What do you call male ballerinas?

9) Stores have signs that say, " No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service." What about pants?

10) Why are American English words like 'color', 'favorite', 'savor', etc, missing the letter 'u'?
Is it because Americans are so self-centered?

11) Do blind people feel 'Love at first sight'?

12) Do blondes really know that they have more fun?

13) What would you say if you're talking to God, and he sneezed?

14) What do people in China call their good plates

and lastly...

15) Do people in Australia call the rest of the world 'up over'?

Hot Hot Heat is FAMOUS?!?!?!

Working in a converted barn in a hideaway north of Victoria, BC, the band began cutting demos of their new material, a process that took them further into new creative frontiers. "We'd end up getting bored with our first takes," continues Bays, "and started changing them up and letting them evolve in new directions. A lot of the songs were demo'd four or five times before we had a version we could stay involved with."

How did these guys from Mill Bay / Shawnigan / Duncan area (More specifically Frances Kelsey) become famous?

And WHEN?!?!?!

I remember GOING to that barn and watching them play...then going to the Duncan fair...now their guests on MuchOnDemand....

I went on the FARRIS WHEEL with Dante...

This blows my mind....

Josh Fulmore...you're amazing.

I was looking at my friends comic site...and I found this one...



Anyways...that racoon had what was coming to him.....

....lil' bastards......

P.S.

Thank you to NATE SHELLEY for the idea to have the blog pets.

Thats all I can give you Nate because YOU ripped someone ELSE off because this was NOT your original idea.

Now I might have to kill you.

You're lucky I live way too far away to do that...

...I know where you live, remember?

On a lighter note....

...it's an 80's icon party thinger at the pub I work at tonight...I think I have to make an appearance in honour of all you club kids....

yes. a real live 80's dance party.

My friend Tara is making me a shirt that says something about being a groupie. . (that's what we're dressing up as.)

Apparantly first prize is a free tab...

...too bad all I wanna drink is coke...

Edward and Molly

Yes. I have blog pets.

edward and molly.

reminds me of a time when there were mice in our cabin...and in Malissa's bed.

oh staff training '04

A Game I Can Play...

Ok. So I suck at mario party...and that jumpy ducky game...and basically most xBox / Gamecube games....

but lets all go back to a simpler time.



Does anybody have this? Because I have this huge need to play something I can kick ass at...

Better yet....



duckhunt.

why have games become way to hard for me???

On that note...do you guys wanna do something tonight that DOESN'T involve hard games????

Another thing...have tv shows gone downhill in the last few years...or am I going crazy?

well...besides the keepers like lost...

maybe it's because I've watched tv all day.....

maybe thats why I'm rambling...

o man...I think I need to get outta here....

I'M INDIRECTLY KILLING PEOPLE.

And that's all I've been doing with my life lately...

...besides seducing cute boys....





but that's a givin. (HA)

Why Ashley is WRONG.

"With that said, I'm dissapointed. Second cup just isnt stylish or sexy. Something about Starbucks just makes you feel cool! Wouldn't you agree? Maybe its just because all the celeb's are drinking it. Maybe it's because the lines are bigger, and because Starbucks has their own language! I just enjoy saying Grande nonfat xtra caramel caramel macchiato! I dont know. It's just a great accessory. ---I think the chairs are more comfortable too."
- Ashley Kitchen

Ok. I have to fight back because I work there....and have to maintain SOME second cup pride...otherwise I may burn the place down...ok...

Firstly - the cup
It is too hot. ESPECIALLY the christmas ones. stripy and beautiful. cutesy little red jacket. with the whipped cream and red sprinkly things on top. So hot.

Secondly - i dont care if the celebrities drink Starbucks
starbucks only has ONE kind of fair trade coffee while second cup ONLY HAS fair trade coffee.
besides...I get 50% off at my second cup...for me and 7 others...

Thirdly - coffee is bad for you and you shouldn't be addicted to it.

Check it out: Caffine = Death

Can anyone do this????

This ladies husband HAD to take a picture of us because APPARANTLY no one else that he knows can do this with their throats.....is it true???

Am I really a throat freak??????

Top 10 Reasons Why Being Single is Better

This is for you Rachael

"I was nauseous and tingly all over. . . . I was either in love or I had smallpox."
-Woody Allen

Yep, I've decided that I am giving up on the whole dating-thing-finding-mr-prince-charming crap...not that I was really LOOKING...but even still...I'm taking the time to get to know me....aka keeping my options open for when I am living in the land of hot boys with accents!
Ok..also, it was pointed out to me by my little sister (who, by the way, has FOUR boyfriends....) that boyfriends are dumb...
ok here goes my top ten reasons why I'm better off than 99% of my friends!


10. INSTABILITY: What, I have to ask, is so good about stability? It's about as exciting as goopy porridge. Yes, there's someone there every day. That would frighten the crap out of me. Are you here, again? Ya freak.

9. FREEDOM: It's great not having to deal with the emotional baggage. I don't have to compromise or be accountable for someone else's happiness. Now, I just have to think about me, me, me...and besides, compromising is as difficult as saying cinnamon, and I never get that right.

8. SOCIAL LIFE: Relationships always get in the way of your good friendships, so you're better off without them. Claim your life back, get out more and book a holiday. Singles are far more likely to be in the Serengeti, than in supermarket 'meal for one' section. Enjoy the freedom and make the most of it.

7.UMM VARIETY: The water's full of fit blokes

6. SPONTANEITY: Whether it's moving to Australiaa or playing crazy golf at midnight, nobody's there to tell you you're daft.

5.FREEDOM (part 2): Men take up too much valuable time. The minute that you're in a relationship, your hair looks crap, you gain a stone and your tan and nails wither under the pressure. Single people always look better because, let's face it, gorgeous men are everywhere and you need to be ready

4. NO ONE CARES: Nobody's opinion matters except yours. You can pierce your eyebrow. Get a tattoo. Not come home for days. Not leave home for days. Stir your tea with a potato peeler. Pick your nose. You may be able to find better things to do with absolute freedom, but I can't think of any

3. SHOPPING: Why have a relationship when you can have more retail therapy? Shopping and men have never mixed and it's better to purchase in peace, without a bloke whining incessantly. I certainly don't miss classics like 'We've already been in here' and 'That's it, I'm going home.' Yeah, right, see ya mate. I’ve got shoes to buy

2. THE EGO BOOST: The second that you realise you're better off single, is inevitably the moment you unwillingly become a man-magnet. They're just like buses, nothing, and then ten come at once

1. THE OBVIOUS: Boys are stupid and, really, we should just throw rocks at them...besides I hear that GENERALLY guys kinda suck in the formation area....right Rach? Spooning really should be a girls only sport.

People are retarded

I was reading the Darwin Awards today and I realized just how STUPID people are! (oh...if you dont know what the darwin awards are - they're awards givin to people who die idiotically.)
It's amazing really...for example:

(7 March 2002, Colorado) When Gerald was pulled over by police for erratic driving, he decided it was better to flee from the stolen car on foot, rather than face possible jail time for a parole violation. This was the first of two successive mental lapses. Gerald's actual thoughts are unknown, but *may* have been something like this: "The officers are only suspicious and alert now... I'll make them hot, sweaty, tired, and angry by leading them on a wild chase through dark alleys and fields."
During the subsequent foot chase, Gerald attempted to dissuade officers from the pursuit by firing a 9mm Ruger semiautomatic handgun blindly over his shoulder. This was the second illustration of a potential mental deficiency. "Officers are running behind me. They have guns. I have a gun! They have eyes in the front of their heads, so they can see to aim at me. I don't have eyes in the back of my head, so I'll fire wildly behind me and see what happens!"

Unfortunately, Gerald appears to have been one of those folks who can't chew gum and walk at the same time. Or at least he couldn't flee and fire at the same time. While discharging the weapon over his shoulder, Gerald managed to shoot himself in the head with his own gun, bringing the chase to a sudden conclusion.

Four shots were fired, none by the officers, who found Gerald's pistol next to his fallen body. Gerald was transported to a local hospital where he expired the following day, thus removing a set of genes deficient in both judgment and coordination from the gene pool.

Holy crap.

Honestly...I had to put this on here because I'm in such shock that people can be this retarded...

Ok heres another one:

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet, didn't put enough postage on a letter bomb, and it came back marked "return to sender." He opened the package and was blown away.

My point is proven...but this one is a winner...wow....

A 23-year-old bar-brawler who had been escorted out of the Turtle Club in Florida by a bouncer, sneaked back in and leaped off a staircase, aiming a kick at another man, but was killed when he landed on his head.

Oh yah...by the way..statistically guys are dumber. In North America, out of 150 people who died without dignity, only 16 were female.

The Art of Spooning

Ahh spooning. What is spooning? Spooning is a kind of horizontal hug, two bodies curling up so they both fit perfectly into each other's--like two spoons in a drawer!
Never spooned before? Well, fear not! Expert spooners, Barb Legault, Rachael van Rij and Chantelle Walsh will guide you through the Standard Spoon for beginners and carefully lead you to more complex and adventuresome spoons including the Chair Spoon and the Artful Spoon (not for beginners), as well as Seasonal Spoons for those holiday get togethers.
But always be careful while spooning...if things get too heated...well we all know what happens

Anyways, the key to a good spoon is a tight formation. Our trained professional, Dr. Dr Mangosteen will guide you through the easy steps to spooning like the stars. Or under the stars!
With helpful tips on simple pleasures to set--and keep--a romantic, spoonful mood, The Art of Spooning will bring out the spooner in even you!
Now, as you can see in this picture below, there is a mutal curved position of the bodies with the 'outer spooner' wraps their arm around the 'inner spooner'.

Now to make this really work, you have to be sure to keep a tight formation. (see below photo)

Thats basically all that there is to spooning...
So now you all know how to spoon, why not call a few friends and have a good ol' fashion spooning party! But remember: Spooning leads to Forking...which leads to kniving...which leads to a new set of teaspoons...and nobody wants that.

a prime example of someone getting carried away and beginning to fork

that's all I have to say...I need sleep

The Best Way to Quit My Job

Yes....I'm already thinking about how I'm going to do it. Friday, December the 16th.
Working at Second Cup has not exactly been the highlight of my young life, and yes I'm looking for a new / second job. Anyways, one of the managers and I were talking before about how she was going to quit...sadly she did the traditional "two weeks notice"...ANYWAYS: I have decided that I have to make a huge scene...like throw a chillatte at a customer...or a boss...
maybe even throw the barista machine on the floor. Point being that I have to make the most amazing scene of horrid work ethics ever displayed in a real live public situation.

Any ideas?

Me and Ash's day with the squirrels

Ok. So when I first got here, to Calgary, me and Ash went on a nice little tour! So we hung out in Kensington and stuff and had a picture tour/walk around the river,....and foudn squirrells....ok. So the reason this is even ON here is that I found the pics and I thought they were blog worthy...

Anyways, we found these rodents and we thought they would make for a good photo...so I cleverly lured them over with a handful of leaves.
and then they came too close...and I was scared...after the pic with me in it....I ran away...

Thats the whole story.

Proving My Point




SEE!?!?!?!
Ashley - I rest my case...you NEED a weenie dog.

To start things off...

I have nothing to say besides settling a small argument that arose during a Flames/Oilers game here in my Calgary home.
Ashley, in her blog, posted a poll asking 'viewers' which kind of dog she should get...however, she didnt include weener dogs in this poll. weener dogs! how do you not include them? They're way more awesome than any of the stupid lame dogs you have on there Ashley...and you know it...

Anyways, all I really wanted to say is:

I VOTE WEENIE DOG!!!

and if you dont get one I may have to hunt you down.... :D
